    Nice clean box, very good :)

    Ya, that`s a problem we all face, the parts we get are outdated within a year, but it`s our hobby and passion

    All we can do is try to get some money back on Ebay.

    One positive is that you didn`t buy 2 of them.

    I like your build.
    Very neat and tidy.

    Hi,
    Nice but it's hard to believe a z97 build cost that much
    Last I saw the z97 boards were never really all that expensive
    3 ssd's were a lot more :)

    I spent about 3200.us on a x99 build
    Partial build started

    I'm in the process of building a Asus x99 Deluxe II with a Intel 6800k and lots more.
    So far I got $3467.00 in the build. Hopefully their won't be any surprises which will make me spend more.

    The damn Sales Tax was $211.00.

    @ totto2222

    I see you have also got a very neat computer desk. Hopefully mind will look that clean and neat.
    I also noticed a picture of George C. Scott as George S. Patton hanging on the wall.
    George Smith Patton is one of my hero's.

    ThrashZone not that hard to spend that kind of money believe me,the monitor and gpu alone were almost 1700.00 all by themselves and several parts had to be ordered from europe-
    side cover on case from thermaltake europe,extra psu cover which hides 2 140 mm fans sucking air from the bottom up and the custom backplates were from a company called cold zero out of portugal
    just the cost of international shippig was astronomical
